If a commission of 20% is given on the written price, the gain is 60%.

If a commission of 20% is given on the written price, the gain is 60%. What will be the percentage of gain if the commission is increased to 25%?
A0.5
B0.37
C0.62
D0.8

Answer is : 0.5

Explanation:

Let the written price = Rs.100
commission = Rs.20
selling price = 100-20 = Rs.80

gain = 60%

cost price =\(\frac{80\times100}{160}\)= Rs.50

if the commission is increased to 25%,
selling price = 100-25 = Rs.75

new gain =\(\frac{(75−50)\times100}{50}\)=50%

 = 0.5
